Do you need dedicated turntable for each genre of music you have?
It is more about your speakers and the rest of the system than a turntable to play punchy electronic music.
Buy Technics SP-10 MK2 or MK3 and you will be on heaven for the rest of your life. I bet you can find SP10-mk2 for $1200
Forget about new plastic shi**t (aka modern belt drive turntables).
Go for the real things, the SP-10 is unbetable and build like a tank, find a proper tonearm and cartridge, custom plinth is not a problem. Look for "12 broadcast tonearms like Schick or Saec 308 (they are easy to mount on SP-10).
Some other killer direct drive is JVC TT-81, for less you can get good looking Pioneer PL-70LII as a complete deck with tonearm and plinth. Another attractive deck is Luxman PD441 (with technics sp10 motor inside).
p.s. if your system is $60 000 try EMT broadcast turntables, lol
